Ask your Mugen 1.1 questions here

if you are like me, you may wonder certain things about mugen 1.1. ask anything you want to know about it here.

====

i'll begin with...

is there some easy way to convert stages to have the zooming feature for mugen 1.1? as in just add a certain snippet of code?

Add "zoomout = decimal #" below camera, this will allow zoom out depending on the horizontal distance between characters.

If you want vertical distance to be taken into account, like when a character jumps & camera zooms out, add "tensionlow = #", below camera as well.

you may need to tweak the bounds & zoffset for possible empty spaces.

WUZ UPPER volzzilla!!! I GOT ONE FOR YOU...CAN OR HOW DO YOU MAKE A MUGEN 1.0/1.1 SP DOUBLE RES...AND IF SO CAN IT BE DONE??????

@guignol....

thanx for that can you plz give me a crash course on bounds and zoffset tweaking too?

Boundleft, boundright & boundhigh, below "[camera]"
just play with the numbers, you most likely will have to reduce them, you can calculate the values, but doing it by trial & error might take the same amount of time anyway, all depends of how much zoom out you add.

If you have bad luck & the floor sprite isn't enough wide vertically, your stage may end up looking cut at the bottom, so you may have to lower the position of everything in the stage and increase the zoffset below "[stageinfo]",...... it's easy really, unless it's some stage coded complicatedly &/or have a great amount of layers...... but most stages use basic code & not so many layers anyway, problem comes when stages use 3D tricks(not parallax), anti Alias with a huge depth or have timed events.

hmm, so theoretically i could screw up the more complex stages.

new question...

i hear that mugen 1.1 can support non indexed png images. is that only in the screenpack gfx, or does that apply to ports for characters too?

It applies for everything.
you could make a char entirely with non indexed pngs.
but people generally wouldn't, because of palettes.

very interesting.

2 questions this time...

1) what exactly do you need to do to insert a non indexed png file in as the port
2) any drawbacks performance wise to the use of png files when making a screenpack (asking because i'm considering updating my screenpack and wondering about 1.1 for it)

Just be sure to convert the sff to 1.1 format, when you have added the portraits & press save, fighter factory will ask you what format you want to save it as.

Depends of your pc I guess, some people say it is ram consuming, personally I have no problem, even when there's a lot of stuff going on at the same time I have no slowdown issues, the only thing I've encountered so far is that the way it is coded may affect it.

thanx for all the help and answers.

anything else should know about mugen 1.1?

bumping an old topic so as can ask...

do 1.1 stages work in mugen 1.0? obviously not with the zoom, just wondering if work in general

Strange question
When i try to capture video from my mugen 1.1 roster the output comes upside down
Why
